Pre-Health Professions Program

CSUSM offers an intensive Pre-Health Professions post-baccalaureate that provides
students with the Science and Math courses they need for entrance into various Health
Professions programs.

This program prepares students who have completed a non-life science degree in areas
such as Anthropology or English to gain the knowledge base required to become competitive
applicants to health professions schools such as dental, medical or veterinary. At
nearly every university, the subjects of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology
are heavily impacted. At CSUSM, the cohort structure of the Pre-Health Professions
program alleviates this problem with guaranteed classes.
